Han Yu’s heart ached when he heard Su Wenyue say this, and he held her hand, “The child must be well, and you must also be well.”

At that moment, a servant brought in the oxytocin. Han Yu took it and fed it to Su Wenyue. Shortly after, it took effect, and Su Wenyue’s stomach began to hurt spasmodically. Han Yu called Doctor Lin into the room.

Doctor Lin took Su Wenyue’s pulse, “The oxytocin is working, but the delivery is not that imminent. Take advantage of this time to eat something more, rest as much as possible, and conserve energy to prepare for the birth.”

Su Wenyue nodded. She wasn’t being delicate at this critical time, consuming a large bowl of the brown sugar eggs she hated most, in addition to a few other things Doctor Lin had instructed the kitchen to prepare. She hadn’t rested long before the pain struck again, and the midwife had already arrived, telling Han Yu to wait outside.

Han Yu watched Su Wenyue uneasily, not wanting to leave. His wife was in danger, and he couldn’t be at ease without watching her every second.

An Family’s matriarch had also come in with the midwife, and seeing her son-in-law this way, she was comforted by how much he cared for his daughter. However, she couldn’t just let him stay; a man’s presence was considered inappropriate during childbirth due to the belief that heavy blood and energy could attract bad luck, and others would criticize the Su Family for being improper if they found out.

“Son-in-law, don’t worry, I’m here. Men shouldn’t be in the room when a woman is giving birth. Please go outside,” she insisted.

“Mother-in-law, I can’t be at ease about Lady Yue, please let me accompany her!” Seeing Su Wenyue’s pale face and cold sweat, lying on the bed groaning, Han Yu this time did not comply with An Family’s matriarch as usual; instead, he insisted on staying.

“Son-in-law, the birthing room has heavy bloody energy, you might attract bad luck,” she warned.

Han Yu didn’t believe in that. The men in the military camp had blood on their hands countless times and weren’t afraid of such things.

“Mother-in-law, I don’t believe in that; I prefer to stay with Lady Yue,” he said firmly.

Seeing Han Yu so determined, the matriarch was at a loss; she couldn’t very well have someone drag her son-in-law out of the room.

Su Wenyue knew what An Family’s matriarch was thinking. Although she also wanted Han Yu to accompany her, it wasn’t appropriate. She bravely endured the pain and looked at Han Yu.

“Husband, please go out. With you here, the midwife can’t work properly,” Su Wenyue said with a weak push on Han Yu.

Hearing Su Wenyue say this, Han Yu gave the midwife a cold look, which made the midwife tremble with fear, and she promptly lowered her head, thinking that this master’s gaze was truly terrifying.

Seeing Han Yu like this, Su Wenyue would have laughed at his reaction if it weren’t for the overwhelming pain.

“Husband, don’t scare her. I know you’re worried about me, I’m alright. Please go out; I look so ugly and wretched like this, I don’t want you to see me in such a state,” she pleaded.

“I’ve seen every part of you, why would I be afraid to see this? I’ll stay with you; it will make you feel more at ease,” he assured her.

“No, when you watch me, I’m too embarrassed to cry out in pain, which may hinder the childbirth. Rest assured, I will be fine, please go out, I really can’t hold back any longer,” she insisted.

Only then did Han Yu reluctantly leave. As he reached the doorway, he heard Su Wenyue’s screams, and his legs nearly gave out. With much effort, he managed not to lose composure, though his expression grew colder and his gaze fixed firmly on the door.

The Su family men, seeing Han Yu in this state, would have thought him weak if it hadn’t been their close relative inside. Instead, they found his deep concern for Su Wenyue comforting and reassuring. The three men, who had been worried earlier, now comforted Han Yu.

“Son-in-law, don’t worry. Lady Yue has always been fortunate; she will deliver the child safely,” they assured him.

“That’s right, brother-in-law, you don’t need to worry so much. You rushed here without even having lunch. I’ll have the servants prepare something for you. Eat first before you come back,” Su Hengyi patted Han Yu’s shoulder.

Han Yu forced a smile, though he couldn’t really muster one. Though he didn’t feel like talking, he couldn’t just ignore his father-in-law and his eldest brother-in-law.

“Thank you, Father-in-law, and big brother for your concern, but I’m not hungry right now, and I can’t eat. Let’s wait for Lady Yue to deliver the baby first,” said Han Yu before he refocused his gaze on the door, silently standing there. Soon he saw the midwife come out and quickly approached her.

“How is Lady Yue, is she about to give birth?”

“Master, Madam has only dilated two fingers; it’s not so soon. The contractions have passed for now. This civilian woman is going to check if everything needed is prepared. A woman’s labor can last a day or two. Please be patient, Master,” the midwife said with a hint of fear facing Han Yu. After speaking, she went off toward the kitchen to check on things, even though Madam Su had prepared everything, she still needed to make sure nothing was overlooked, especially since this was a twin pregnancy, requiring more preparations.

Another experienced midwife from the city had also arrived. She was the most renowned in Xinye County for delivering babies. With it being Su Wenyue’s first birth, and she was carrying twins, one midwife wasn’t enough. Madam Su, worried for her daughter’s premature labor, had called for several, but only these two could make it at this time.

Since Su Wenyue’s situation was delicate, Doctor Lin couldn’t assist with the birth and had to instruct the two midwives. They discussed among themselves and were prepared. They heard Su Wenyue cry out in pain inside and hurried back in.

An hour had passed, and Han Yu still stood motionless. Master Su had instructed for a stool to be brought, but Han Yu continued to stand as cries from within grew even more agonizing.

Han Yu shuddered with each cry. His daughter-in-law hated pain; she would always whine even during intimate moments. It must have been extremely painful for her to cry like this. As he watched basin after basin of blood carried out, his expression became even colder, with a chilling aura enveloping him.

Su Wenyue had experienced the agony of childbirth before and was mentally prepared. Despite this, the pain was almost unbearable. Perhaps due to the oxytocin, it was several times worse than regular labor. Had she not been determined to endure it for the sake of her children, Su Wenyue felt she might have collapsed. Now, she could only bite down on her teeth; she was dilated four fingers, it should be almost time.

While those inside suffered, those outside were far from comfortable. As time dragged on, the Su family men grew increasingly worried, especially Han Yu who became visibly restless. The persistent screams had not ceased, and then suddenly, an unsettling silence fell.

“What exactly is happening inside? Send someone to check; why is there no sound?” Master Su said tensely. Being the head of the family, he couldn’t go in himself, so he sent a servant girl to investigate, but before she reached the door, someone hurried out looking panicked, calling for Doctor Lin.

“Doctor Lin, please come quickly to see Madam. She has fainted. We must find a way to revive her quickly; otherwise, the child in her stomach might get distressed, and Madam might be in great danger,” they urged.
